KTM 380
Brake fluid capacity & service interval
KTM 380 uses brake fluid with a capacity range of min to max. Service intervals occur every 12 months. The data covers 5 configurations.
The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.
| Type | Specifications |

| 380 MXC (2002-2003) |
|
| 380 EXC (2001-2001) |
|
| 380 EXC (2000-2000) |
|
| 380 MXC (2000-2001) |
|
| 380 SX (2000-2003) |

Additional Notes
- All KTM 380 variants covered in these specifications use a hydraulic brake system, which relies on fluid pressure to actuate the brake calipers rather than a mechanical cable linkage.
- The fluid level specification of "between min and max" refers to the reservoir markings on the brake fluid reservoir, indicating an acceptable operating range rather than a precise fixed volume.
- A 12-month change interval applies uniformly across all 380 variants and model years listed, meaning brake fluid replacement is time-based rather than tied to mileage or hours of operation.
- The 12-month interval is designated for normal use conditions, which in brake fluid servicing typically reflects standard operating environments without extreme heat cycling or prolonged exposure to moisture absorption.
- Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the atmosphere over time. A 12-month change interval addresses the gradual degradation in boiling point that results from this moisture accumulation.
- The 380 EXC specifications cover the 2000-2001 model years as separate row entries, while the 380 SX specification spans 2000-2003 as a single continuous entry, reflecting how service data was grouped for each variant.
- The 380 MXC appears in two separate row entries: one covering 2000-2001 and another covering 2002-2003, both sharing identical fluid level and change interval specifications.
